    Chapter 173


    “An ordinary emerald pendant? How… how is this possible?”


    When Frode heard this news, his face was filled with disbelief. He rushed over immediately and


    squeezed into the crowd to take a closer look.


    When Frode rushed into the crowd and carefully observed the emerald that had been cut out, his


    expression became even more gloomy


    The host and Han were right. This was indeed a very ordinary gem.


    Although the surface looked very smooth and green, it was only ayer of green. Under thisyer of


    green, the quality was very ordinary


    At the bottom, the quality was no different from that of ordinary stones.


    Such green gem would not be worth more than two hundred dors on the market.


    “How is this possible? How could this be? Frode’s eyes were filled with shock. His pupils constricted


    violently, and his face


    was filled with disbelief.


    Previously, Frode had clearly determined that this stone at least had a top-grade sapphire. Why was


    this the result?


    Why?


    Most importantly, Frode judged it to be top-grade sapphire, while Han judged it to be an ordinary


    gem. This was equivalent to Frode losing to Han before the battle even began.


    This made Frode feel even more defeated.


    “Is it really just an ordinary emerald pendant?”


    When Simon saw the emerald pendant, he immediately turned around and looked at Han in shock.


    Simon was so shocked that his mouth was agape. His heart was like a monstrous wave, and Simon


    could not say a word.


    Han was right.


    Not only Simon, but the way Maxwell and Jerry looked at Han had also changed.


    So many treasure appraisal masters had appraised it and thought that this stone could produce top-


    grade sapphire. In the end, however, only Han could tell that it only had an ordinary emerald


    pendant inside.


    This meant that Han’s appraisal level was enough to instantly defeat all the treasure appraisal


    masters.


    “Impossible. This guy must have been lucky!” Maxwell gritted his teeth and thought to himself


    In Maxwell’s heart, Han had always been trash. Now, Han had suddenly be so powerful that


    he had instantly defeated Frode.


    Han couldn’t ept such an oue and subconsciously thought that it was just Han’s lucky


    guess.


    Han remained calm and silent.


    “This is just an ordinary emerald pendant? It can’t be


    “Previously, they boasted so much and said there was a top-grade sapphire inside. Could it be that the


    Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market is deliberately hyping it up?”


    “I thought I would be able to see some top-grade gems. I didn’t expect it to be trash. I’ll nevere to


    the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market again!”


    “I walked around just now. Most of the gems on this floor are trash. They’re probably used to cheat the


    customers. Now that even such a raw stone is trash, there probably aren’t any real treasures in this


    ce.”


    “This raw stone market is really trash!”


    “It’s more than that. They pushed out such a stone to create a gimmick and even obtained such an


    ordinary gem by cutting out it. It’s obvious that they are scamming money. Whoeveres here to buy


    things in the future will be a fool’


    “That’s right. This stone was auctioned for a high price of 20 million dors just now. Now, the buyer got


    a useless stone that’s not even worth 400 dors. This is a scam!”


    After seeing the gem on the screen, many people present were greatly disappointed and discussed it.


    Many people had even started to walk out. They felt that the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone


    Market was specially opened to scam people and did not want to stay any longer.


    Expecially the buyer of the stone, he sat on the ground dejectedly. His eyes were filled with despair,


    and his face was as pale as paper. He muttered, “It’s over. I’m finished!”


    He paid 20 million dors. This was a gamble that he gambled with all his wealth.


    But now, he had obtained a pile of useless stones and suffere


    crushing defeat.


    How were he


    going to live Π the future?


    At the thought of this, his eyes turned red. He could not help but cry bitterly, tears streaming down his


    face


    “This sucker has been scammed badly”


    “It seems like the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market is really a ck-hearted ce.


    Remember not toe here to buy stones next time.”


    Seeing this buyer in such despair and pain, the buyers present all revealed sympathetic expressions.


    They hated this market even more and were filled with vignce.


    “He was greedy, wanting to win but losing everything in the end. Who can he me for suffering a


    great loss?”


    “The host didn’t cheat or rob him. He was the one who rushed to give the market money”


    There were also many people in the crowd with cold expressions. They had no sympathy for this buyer


    and their attitudes were extremely cold.


    However, this was only a small number of people. Most people felt that it was all the fault of the ck-


    hearted manufacturer who opened the auction hall to cheat the customers’ money. And the customers


    were already leaving.


    Jerry’s expression changed upon seeing this.


    It was fine to earn money, but if the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market wasbeled as ck-


    hearted, cheating, and deceiving, the raw stone market would be finished


    Jerry was the first toe back to his sense. He immediately walked to the stage of the auction hall


    and snatched the host’s microphone. Heughed and said, “Everyone, please calm down.


    “That stone just now was just a charity program that we acted in The goal was to tell everyone to be


    careful when gambling on stones. You have to be calm all the time and not risk everything”


    Hearing his words, those who were about to leave were all stunned. They stopped in their tracks and


    looked over in confusion.


    A program?


    A public charity program?


    What was going on?


    Not only them, but even the staff at the auction hall were dumbfounded.


    What was Jerry doing?


    At this moment, Jerry ignored the surprised gazes of those people and came to the buyer’s side. Jerry


    whispered in th buyer’s ear. “Bro. I will return your 20 million dors to you, but as a repay, you have to


    act with me.”


    “Really?” The buyer’s eyes lit up.


    “That’s right. You have to admit that you’re a special actor who cooperates with us,” Jerry said in a low


    voice.


    After saying that, Jerry took the microphone and said, ‘Next, let’s invite our special actor to say a few


    words to everyone.” The buyer came back to his senses and immediately took the microphone. He


    wiped his tears and revealed a happy smile. “Hello, everyone. I’m Kris, a special actor invited by Mr.


    Griffith.


    “How about this show we’re putting on?


    “You didn’t expect this, did you? My acting skills are so good that I deceived all of you. We’re doing this


    to tell everyone that stone gambling is risky. Don’t throw your entire fortune into it just because the


    stones are hyped up to be very good!


    “Otherwise, you’ll suddenly go bankrupt while having a meal and singing songs. Perhaps your wife will


    leave you and your son will despise you….


    “You’ll be homeless and…”


    Thinking of his previous predicament, Kris squeezed out two more streams of tears.


    When Jerry saw Kris’s performance, he was overjoyed


    As expected of someone who could fork out 20 million dors in cash. Kris was so eloquent that he


    said all that Jerry wanted to express


    Without waiting for Kris to continue, Jerry snatched the microphone andughed a few times. Then,


    Jerry said loudly, “Kris has said it so well. Apuse for him.”


    Jerry was the first to apud.


    Seeing Jerry p, the staff and the vendors in the raw stone market also pped.


    Jerry was the manager here, so they had to listen to him.


    Jerry raised his hand to stop everyone from pping. Then, he said, “The show just now was just a


    lead-in. Next, I’ve prepared a better show for everyone, the stone gamblingpetition!


    “Next, our challenger, Han Jaber, will appear andpete with our respected treasure appraisal


    master, Frode Harrod.


    “Give them a round of apuse!”

    With that, Jerry pped again.


    The others followed suit, pping thunderously.


    Immediately after, the scene suddenly dimmed. Two beams of light shone on Han and Frode.
